Quite IA Romance.

Mr. J. B. Blaikie's marriage to Miss
Ellen Bolts, of Savannah, was recently
announced. This marriage has an un-
usual halo OF romance about it,. Miss
Bolts was niece of President Arthur,
and after her engagement fever and
the excitement of the earthquake brought
about a loss of vision Which the occulists
pronounced permanent. She immedi-
ately sent her flance, who was in Scot
land, o release, which he refused to
accept, and took the next steamer to
America TO declare his fidelity and urge
an immediate marriage. This uuexpect-
ed happiness produced a gfeat change
for the better in Miss Bolts, which ended
by her recovering her eyesight. The
young people go to Scotland next
month.A4eBaltimore Sun.

Almost the only draWback is "the sur.

McBride's razor-backed hogs hump

Harry Petit has two cub bears
at his boarding house that afford
no end of amusement. One is a
cinnamon, the other black bear,
and the two species do not appear
to be on speaking terms. The box
ing matches that they indulge in
are laughable, and on Wednesday
last an effort was made to photo
graph the cubs in fighting attitude,
by the instantaneous process but
with only partial success. Harry
proposes to start a 200" at his
house and anyone having a wild or
tame animal of any description will
find the boarding house a good
place to dispose OF the came.
On Monday last Joseph Roberts,
or "French Joe" as he is commonly
called, employed as teamster by
Frank Gooding, met with severe
accident. While coming down the
grade on the Smoky road, he was
caught between the wagon and the
bank of earth on one side and bad
ly crushed. One of his wagons al
so passed over mis- right foot injur-
ing it considerably. AS speedily
as possible word was sent to town
and on Tuesday night he WAS
brought in by George Metzler who
was sent after him. DR.. Lewis was
to attend the injured
man, and an examination showed
that no bones were broken. 1t was
feared that Roberts had sustained |
intertal injuries, but that does not |
seem probable. At last accounts !
ne was resting comfortably, but |
suffered from soreness. 1t was a |
narrow escape from what might |
lave proven fatal accident.

IDAHO NEWS.
SILVER CITY AVALANCHE.

Capt. ]. Il. DeLamar, of the Will
son mine, Wagontown, left on Tues
day last for the east, to be gone all
winter. During his absence Mr..
Chas. E. Knapp will have charge
of the mine and mill. The Wilson
mine is probably the largest mine
in the territory, and when mill is
erected near the mine, as it will be
next spring; it will be dividend
paying property. While gone the
Captain will probably select mill
to be erected near the mine.
The whistle of the Empire was
heard on Thursday, work on that
mine having been commenced, or
rather the hoisting Of water hav-
ing begun, preparatory to working
the mine. Mr.. Crutcher informs
us that he will run two levels on
the mine, one from the 9th and the
other from the 7th level. While
the levels are being run, he will
stope from the 9th level towards
the surface, and take out a good
crushing. There can be no doubt
as to rich ore being in this mine,
and under the present management
it will be developed and extracted.
